    That it’s an interpreted language rather than a compiled one. Bytecode and interpreted langs get the Toy Lang treatment. At least SQL has floating points.

      That’s… a really dumb definition. And why is C# right in the middle but Java’s towards obsolete and toy lang? They both compile to byte code and are overall extremely similar.
